The expression
(u8*)params.m_stack_location + stack_size
… causes UBSan to spit out the warning
KUBSAN: addition of unsigned offset to 0x00000002 overflowed to 0xb0000003
… even though there is no actual overflow happening here.
This can be reproduced by running:
$ syscall create_thread 0 [ 0 0 0 0 0xb0000001 2 ]
Technically, this is a true-positive: The C++-reference is incredibly strict
about pointer-arithmetic:
> A pointer to non-array object is treated as a pointer to the first element
> of an array with size 1. […] [A]ttempts to generate a pointer that isn't
> pointing at an element of the same array or one past the end invoke
> undefined behavior.

Frankly, this feels silly. So let's just use FlatPtr instead.
Found by fuzz-syscalls. Undocumented bug.
Note that FlatPtr is an unsigned type, so
user_esp.value() - 4
is defined even if we end up with a user_esp of 0 (this can happen for example
when params.m_stack_size = 0 and params.m_stack_location = 0). The result would
be a Kernelspace-pointer, which would then be immediately flagged by
'MM.validate_user_stack' as invalid, as intended.
